Woodstock performance of (little help from my friends) is historic.

[@JamesRea2]

The version with Leon Russell is better than Woodstock.

[@sharonstonts]

Definitely, that cover became more recognizable than the actual Beatles song/rendition

[@williamyates694]

​@@sharonstontswith a little help from The Wonder Years TV show from the 80's opening theme.

[@mikerichards67]

I don’t care what anyone says but when you start talking and listening to Joe Cocker you start with the Woodstock performance of With a Little Help From My Friends !

[@sharonstonts]

@@williamyates694 Yes. Watched every episode when I was young 🤩

[@pvdogs2]

Joe Cocker's duet 'Up Where We Belong' with Jennifer Warnes' from the movie An Officer and a Gentleman' is a beautiful song. It won an Academy Award.

[@757optim]

The Woodstock performance of "With A Little Help From My Friends" is THE iconic Joe Cocker performance.

[@thesuperdak7224]

Absolutely.

[@pacebrison1453]

Joe Cocker made what is, in my opinion, the best cover song ever when the covered the Beatles With a Little Help From My Friends.

[@757optim]

And the Woodstock performance is unforgettable.

[@jimfrederick3907]

"She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" is brilliant.

[@JoeNienaberNienaber]

The Beatles did did it, Joe said hold my beer.

[@stinkystu1]

Nah, he tied it when he did "The Letter".

[@paulwood5803]

A poor tortured soul who had the most wonderful gift. I had the great privilege of seeing him live twice and he is utterly captivating. He never gave less that 110% in all of his performances.

[@jddelvec1870]

There is an amazing video from early Saturday Night Live of John Belushi singing a duet with Joe and imitating him, definitely worth the watch.

[@georgesheffield1580]

Blues almost always are best LIVE

[@hlawrencepowell]

Joe felt every note, every word. Few people ever came close.

[@redddo1]

Some people just break the mold....and for the better.

[@Canucklehead557]

Joe Cocker - You can leave you hat on. From the 9 1/2 Weeks soundtrack.

[@janparish8055]

YES!!

[@Canucklehead557]

@@janparish8055 I used to be in a band called the Perish. Check it out. Right perish means the end. Have a great day.

[@ianallsopp9841]

You don't listen to a Joe Cocker song, You LIVE IT. It's not just his voice, it's his facial expressions as well.

[@RayDavies-zv5ic]

Two legendary live performances from Joe are "With a Little Help From My Friends" at Woodstock and his duet with Jennifer Warnes singing the Oscar-winning "Up Where We belong" at the Night of the Proms, Antwerpen.

[@garyjohnson7133]

He put everything into his performances! No one was better than Mr. Joe Cocker!

[@craigreid7178]

This was probably the best choice for an introduction to Joe Cocker. This was a huge hit for him and such a heartfelt delivery. He was one of a kind.

[@gennyreese420]

That voice...soul all day❤ you guys would like You Can Leave Your Hat On! And if you can find the studio version of this song that last note he hits a falsetto that shoots straight to the heart😊

[@757optim]

Agreed. When you know the song from radio, you expect that ending.

[@markhodge7]

Joe Cocker is simply Joe Cocker. Maybe the most one-of-a-kind of all time.

[@wildbill7081]

Yes very true his voice kills this song

[@fabioferrari6633]

One of a kind, thats for sure

[@user-gu1zb6cw6t]

The last note of the studio version is sublime.

[@edwardrutledge2765]

Every cover Joe attempted was better than the original. Bold statement, but true.

[@edwardsadler3348]

Bill Joel is a massive fan of Joe's and has campaigned for years to get him in the Rock n Roll Hall of fame

[@allengray5748]

How can a imperfect voice be the most MOST perfect for certain songs??!! Moments happen where I need to hear some tunes LOUD like certain RUSH songs, Little River Band, Iron Maiden and FEELING ALRIGHT by Mr Joe Cocker is freaking AMAZING!! Great Channel Bars!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Can’t wait for Woodstock “a LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS “ 🔥🔥🔥😁 I have never seen Joe so still. It made the song very emotional for me ❤

[@terri2494]

I was thinking they still haven’t experienced him live in concert yet. He was very restrained on this one.

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

I like Joe's early rockers & R&B songs: High Time We Went, The Letter, Feeling Alright, Woman to Woman, ...

[@kevincaulder20]

You guys need to hear Joe Cocker more in his element of rocking blues. The raw intensity of his vocals are always on full display, but my personal favorites will give you some indication as to why. YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR HAT ON from the movie 9 and 1/2 Weeks will have Sam feeling alright. UNCHAIN MY HEART is a cover of the Ray Charles classic that has Joe Cocker and Clarence Clemmons, from Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, walking into a dead bar late in the evening and leaving a mushroom cloud of soul in their wake. I LOVE this video. Keep going. And enjoy

[@robertwoods3750]

one of the funniest things i saw in my young life {70's} was watching S.N.L. and john Belushi was doing his impression of joe singing with his spastic movements when suddenly joe showed up behind him , he joined in with john and finished the song , both spasming out , funniest , most heart warming moment to experience . we all were aware of joes freaky movements but we also knew that's how deeply he felt the music and who could laugh at that ?.

[@marionthompson3365]

Loved him since 76. Saw him four times through the years. Brilliant. Rip Joe

[@RockinMamaT]

Get by with a little help with my friends is so good.Such a unique voice❤

[@DrPaul-xf4no]

Joe cocker also sang the theme song for the American 80s tv show "the wonder years" 😊❤

[@susanyork5089]

Saw him live in his home city Sheffield, Joe a great Talent and a Yorkshire lad 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@hartspot009]

I was lucky enough to meet Joe AND Stevie Ray Vaughan when they toured together , Anchorage Alaska July 1990...one month before Stevies death. Both were absolute gems. Didnt get Joes autograph but got Stevies. GREAT REACTION GUYS...keep rolling

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Joe AND Stevie? Wow! Awesome duo to see!

[@Chase-we3pt]

You lucky summbitch.

[@user-xx5do8df8q]

Gotta listen to The Letter live with Leon Russell on piano. Joe Cocker ballads are almost non existence.

[@dandundon9503]

Feel so lucky to have seen him live several times!

[@jasondobrich3560]

One of my favorite takes on Joe is that the notes he misses are more beautiful than if he’d actually hit them. So vulnerable

[@joannerichards1750]

'Up Where We Belong' duet w/Jennifer Warnes is rapturous! Joe was a working-class lad from Sheffield, England who sang in pubs. In his later years he lived on a ranch in Colorado, U.S.A., where he died in 2014. He was 70. We loved him and we miss him.

[@christopherboccia2653]

Joe Cocker/Steve Miller, West Palm Beach amphitheater May 2008, one of the greatest live performances I’ve ever seen

[@pres96ton]

I am 78 Joe was a kid at Woodstock and he was singing

[@DaveK0526]

Nobody sings this song like him- tears my heart out ever time

[@scottmoquin]

Perhaps the most unique singer of all time.

[@fabioferrari6633]

Yes, he was not the most perfect, but his imperfection made him unique. Love this guy

[@mattjohnson7725]

There will never be another Joe C

[@user-lo1zc7gr1d]

Love Joe Cocker, great reaction thankyou

[@darrinlindsey]

I totally agree that this song was meant for him to sing.

[@leslietayloriii8405]

In spite of his Hero!n addiction... He brought so much peace and joy!

[@juliapernicka2698]

This was very mellow. To really get a good feel for Joe Cocker you really need to watch with a Little help from my friends at Woodstock. He puts his whole heart, soul and body into that performance

[@amymeyers8090]

Ha! You have to see Jim Bulusi’s Saturday Night live sketch of Joe Cocker! Super funny!

[@tazjammer]

Joe suffered from Cerebal Palsy. I'm 67, remember Belushi. Not funny

[@memorylane7068]

He also had some great studio hits in the 80's.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Written by the late Billy Preston. RIP to him. Great 👍 The late Joe Cocker sang a song 🎵 which was on the soundtrack to the movie 🎥 Teachers 40 years ago 🎂. He was gone 30 years later. RIP to him. Suggested video 📹: Joe Cocker sings Edge of a Dream on Solid Gold.

[@michaeldaley5831]

And Dennis Wilson.

[@user-mo3et2lr7y]

You have to watch Joe

[@glennburch1081]

This song is credited to Billy Preston and Bruce Fisher, released in 1974 on Billy Prestons 9th studio record. I love Joe Cocker's reggae influenced record Stingray (1976) that never got the attention it deserved IMO. Joe Cocker basically made a living off of covers. Some must-listens by this artist: Feeling Alright, She Came In Thru The Bathroom Window, Catfish (About the pitching legend Catfish Hunter), The Jealous kind, Look What You've done, and A song For You (A song by Leon Russell, Ray Charles, and Willie Nelson) are just a few from this unique artist. I always enjoy your reactions, TY

[@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus]

Saw him live once, great show. Shame on the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame for not having this man among it's ranks. Joe has some great tunes, he shot to stardom with his awesome cover of "With a Little Help from My Friends" so you have to do that. The Live Woodstock version for sure. A couple of great studio takes and worth a listen as well are 'Feelin' Alright' and 'When The Night Comes' just to name two. Cheers.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Keyboard musician Billy Preston wrote this song, he worked with the Beatles on their last two albums, and was in their documentary, Get Back. he also worked on many George Harrison solo Albums...i used to sing this to my daughter whenm she was little.

[@nancys9698]

One of my favorite song of his is “Put your Hat on” From the movie 9 1/2 weeks with Kim Basinger & Mickey Rourke.

[@gordonbryan2523]

Never did one man say so much in so few words.

[@JohnBullard]

Check out John Belushi as Joe Cocker (standing and singing next to Joe Cocker) frickin hilarious!

[@jamesc264]

The late great Joe Cocker. Gone but never forgotten. Any time you spend finding out and listening/watching/reacting to this great will not be wasted!

[@Souljah2008]

This great song of Joe Cocker comes on at the end of one of my favourite movie's Carlitos Way and its a really poignant moment.

[@Shortstring5]

Joe Cocker is one hell of a singer....pours hi whole heart and soul into his songs. Been a fan since he owned beatles song "With a Little Help From My Friends"

[@2002maryurb]

In the movie Across The Universe, Joe played a couple of parts and sang a couple of Beatles songs. Didn’t recognize him, but I did recognize his voice

[@MichelleSanGiorgio]

This was my wedding song after my husband proposed in the front row in front of Joe Cocker live. He then sang "You are so beautiful"

[@boscobeans]

Saw him live at the intimate Filmore East WAY BACK in the day. Imagine 3 acts live on a small stage for about 5 bucks.

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction, Sam and Phil! Joe always seems so authentic to me. He sang with his whole body. His Woodstock performance is amazing. BTW, Chakra Khan covers some Joe Cocker.

[@larrybailey517]

Everyone should see John Belushi's Joe Cocker SNL skit.

[@candacemay7187]

Yes - Woodstock performance next, followed by You can Leave Your Hat On.

[@calemobrien1139]

One of those performers you could tell put EVERYTHING INTO HIS WORK!!! My mom first introduced me to him & I went down a rabbit hole of learning about him & listening to his songs because he's such an interesting person & incredible & unique singer😎 There's a great documentary called Joe Cocker: Mad Dog with Soul that's worth a watch & famously John Belushi has played him a few times on SNL & even performed together which would be a cool reaction video. So glad you're giving this legend a listen!

[@tjaartvanderwalt5864]

You can leave your hat on would have been perfect for valintines day.

[@malcolmsleight9334]

I was fortunate to see Joe live. He did amazing covers of a lot of songs. I believe that Paul McCartney said that his cover of "A little Help From My Friends" is better than the Beatles version.

[@malcshone4409]

Gotta be Woodstock 1969 “ With A Little Help From My Friends” live!!

[@Upsidedownguitar63]

Joe was like Janis...a one of a kind through which music poured from somewhere deep within....like so few. He wasn't looking to sing beautiful...which makes it beautiful. Watch "A Little Help From My Friends" live. It is a Beatles song he transformed...you can see the pure music coursing through him.

[@jordimoore2167]

Next try You Can Leave Your Hat On.

[@deanjewell8170]

The studio version has just as much raw emotion as his live performances. I used the studio version for a video celebrating my daughter's first birthday and it never fails to bring tears.

[@donaldbrunner6250]

John Belushi did a spot on imitation of Joe Cocker. In fact they did a song side by side on SNL.

[@agnetamalmqvist3776]

SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

So much emotional in this singing…it brings me to tears, it touches my soul! 🥰

[@jasonremy1627]

Such an amazing vocalist.

[@bluebird3281]

Hitchcock Railway, Feeling Alright, and Delta lady are all great songs by Cocker.

[@SkywalkerPMs]

Love lifts us up was our wedding dance song.

[@caretaker158]

Hearing Joe not only sing the song, but watching him FEEL the song... never fails to bring a lump to my throat, a tear to my eye and a smile to my face all at the same time. And I wholeheartedly agree with all the others who have said to check out his version of "I get by (with a little help from my friends)"

[@davidrichards6509]

there is a tnt made for tv movie called "door to door" starring william h macy that is the "true" story of a door to door salesman who was born with cerebal palsy. there is a scene about two thirds of the way through the movie where the salesman is selling to a young mother holding her new born after having gotten the news that morning that his own mom had died and joe cocker singing you are so beautiful is the movie "score" for the scene and every time i see that movie that scene makes me tear up and "cry like a little girl". i have heard several different artists sing this song in my 60+ years ... i think even elvis has a cover of this .... and mr cocker's version is and always has been my favorite version of this song. it's one of the few joe cocker songs that i can actually understand the words ... most of joe cocker's records that I've heard have been largely unintelligible to me ... a like bob dylan😅

[@oldmanghost219]

Joe Cocker - You Are So Beautiful... it is fine that you start with his live versions. He displays raw emotion. Fantastic. It always depends on the song what is better. Example . The studio version of Smoke On Water sounds dead and dull where as the Live version from the made in Japan album sounds alive. A Whiter Shade Of Pale was iconic decades before the live version for a reason that gets covered up by the absolutely beautiful live version. I have both versions but for decades, I have just been hearing that haunting organ in the studio version in my mind.

[@TomTom-ui9hg]

His Woodstock performance is a must watch..Peace!

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

60 minutes did a interview with him one time and he came across as such a humble and nice person who just wanted to go out there and perform. He poured a lot of emotion into every song. Still brings tears my eyes. RIP Joe C..

[@FerretJohn]

The song was written and first performed by Billy Preston, whom many considered the unofficial fifth Beatle, but like Johnny Cash and Hurt the song became Cocker's the moment he sang it.

[@skmlondon]

I was a dj in Manchester before going to Uni. I was asked to help book the bands for Freshers’ Ball. I got lucky and was able to get Joe Cocker and the Grease Band AND Jethro Tull. An amazing night. What a way to start Uni life.

[@carokat1111]

I had the privilege to see him in concert twice. Barely spoke a word to the crowd, just sang his heart out.

[@janparish8055]

More Joe Cocker please! "You can leave your hat on" - awesome! He's kinda a male Janis Joplin - raw and unique! Nice reaction.

[@kevinfitzpatrick8532]

You can't miss with Joe's live preformences👍🎶🎸

[@jimmymcintyre7944]

Need to do the Woodstock version of The Beatles 'With A Little Help From My Friends'. U will love it.

[@garybradford8332]

Joe couldn't play an instrument but certainly felt it. This cover by Cocker is the reason Negan first went to his dark side in "The Walking Dead". I also like Cocker's cover of "The Letter". That video is amusing because he's all over the place with his wonderful spastic performance while the great Leon Russell plays the keyboard in a nonchalant, almost sleepy, way.

[@stevenspringer1599]

In '70, the night my girlfriend and I decided to take some acid and go to the Fillmore in SF to see him was when we had only heard him on the radio and on his album - we had never seen him live - at the time 'air guitar' was not a labelled thing but 'spastic gyrations' was and we were in no condition to watch him and had to retreat to the cafe and just listen to the rest of the of the great show. We got to watch him and the grease band eat after the show.

[@martinalloway6980]

Joe was most respected as a live performer. He sang the truth of the song. He had an innate talent to sound like Everyman while having great emotional control. He’s like a great stage actor as opposed to a great movie actor.

[@user-fd1fp8lp1v]

I see that you like this exceptional artist Joe Cocker, you should listen to the last 2 hits before he passes away which are extras "Fire it up" and "I come in peace" but less known to the general public because they are studio recordings, he unfortunately was not able to sing them in public because his illness took over before, for me this gentleman and Tina Turner were my favorite voices and I had the pleasure of seeing them live during my stay in Vienna, Austria in 1996 and 1997

[@davidbordonaro1631]

our first dance as a married couple . can't listen to it since her passing . still a beautiful song .... just can't do it .

[@GeraldWalling]

John Robert "Joe" Cocker's most famous song a rearrangement is a cover from the Beatles, "A Little Help From My Friends". ""You Are So Beautiful" is a song credited to Billy Preston and Bruce Fisher that was first released in 1974 on Preston's ninth studio album, The Kids & Me." "According to differing family stories, Cocker received his nickname of Joe either from playing a childhood game called "Cowboy Joe", or from a local window cleaner named Joe." All info is from Wikipedia.

[@rubroken]

Unchain my heart is a good one to react to, by Joe. The official video(?)is interesting, he walks into a bar and sings it

[@graemehossack7401]

There is another Joe Cocker performance of this song with only an acoustic guitar as backing. The words are even less clear but the passion and emotion make them almost redundant. He was all about live performances, and the Woodstock performance is iconic.

[@michaeldaley5831]

Written by Dennis Wilson,he forgot about it,then heard cockers version on the radio.Dennis always sung it as the last song in concert ,with the Beach Boys.

[@MichelleSanGiorgio]

Please do watch Woodstock-"little help from my friends" 🎉

[@mikek1865]

This rendition was so beautiful to me...

[@dougca7086]
